I’ve just found myself wanting to test some OpenGL stereo and I couldn’t find the old-school OglPlane.exe program.<\/p>\n

It’s a simple program opening an OpenGL window with quad-buffer stereo and displaying a stereoscopic wireframe paper plane :<\/p>\n

\"oglplane_small\"<\/p>\n

We use that regularly to debug stereo :<\/p>\n

Client: There is no stereo in Virtools! It’s all your fault, I hate you!<\/p>\n

Us: Could you run oglplane and tell us if it’s in stereo ?<\/p>\n

Client: No it’s not, I’m sure Virtools broke everything!<\/p>\n

Us: Could you activate the stereo in the graphics card drivers ?<\/p>\n

Client: Ha, now the plane is in stereo, but still not Virtools, you morons!<\/p>\n

Us: Could you change the Virtools stereo parameters ?<\/p>\n

No answer from client.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alright maybe it’s because of the Virtools’ documentation =)<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

OglPlane was developped by Stereographics, makers of the famous 3d glasses and stereo handbook<\/a>, which was bought by RealD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It seems the software was hosted on RealD website but I really can’t find it, so I got it on my work laptop and uploaded here:<\/p>\n

Oglplane.zip<\/a><\/p>\n

(If you’re from RealD, don’t sue me, let’s talk about it \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The zip also contains the source code and visual studio project so you can also learn how to setup quad-buffered OpenGL.<\/p>\n

First edition : 1991. Wow, that’s really old-school 3D !!<\/p>\n
